Not approved by AdSense yet? Or just want more income streams?

Good news: You don’t need ads to make money from your blog.

In fact, some of the highest-earning bloggers rely less on ads and more on direct monetization methods. Today, I’ll show you 5 beginner-friendly ways to start earning—with or without AdSense.

1. Affiliate Marketing

What it is:
You promote someone else’s product or service, and when someone clicks your unique link and buys—you earn a commission.

Why it works:
You don’t need to create your own product. Just recommend tools you use or love.

Examples:

  • Amazon Associates (physical products)

  • ShareASale, Impact, CJ (digital products)

  • Promote courses, hosting, tools, etc.

Best niches:
Tech, finance, fitness, blogging, parenting, digital tools

Pro Tip:
Add affiliate links naturally inside helpful blog posts like tutorials, product reviews, or “top 10” lists.

2. Sell Digital Products

What it is:
Create something once, sell it forever.

Popular products:

  • Ebooks

  • Templates

  • Printables

  • Checklists

  • Online courses

Why it works:
100% profit margin. No shipping. No inventory.

Tools to use:

  • Canva (for design)

  • Gumroad, Payhip, or Etsy (for selling)

  • ConvertKit or Mailchimp (to build your email list)

3. Offer Freelance Services

What it is:
Use your skills (even beginner-level) to offer services through your blog.

Examples:

  • Blog writing

  • Social media content

  • Pinterest management

  • Canva design

  • WordPress setup

Best part?
Your blog becomes your portfolio—clients come to you.

4. Coaching or Consulting

What it is:
If you have experience in anything—fitness, finance, blogging, career advice—you can offer 1-on-1 sessions.

You don’t need to be a guru. Just be one step ahead of your audience.

Tools to use:

  • Calendly (to book calls)

  • Zoom or Google Meet

  • Stripe or PayPal (for payments)

5. Sponsored Content

What it is:
Brands pay you to write blog posts or mention their product.

You’ll need:

  • A niche audience

  • Good blog design

  • Media kit (we’ll create one later in this series!)

Start small: reach out to small brands or local businesses in your niche.

Bonus: Build an Email List Early

No matter which monetization route you choose, an email list helps you scale faster.

Start collecting emails with:

  • A lead magnet (free checklist, eBook, etc.)

  • A pop-up or opt-in form

  • A simple email tool (ConvertKit or Mailchimp)

Action Plan

  1. Pick 2 monetization strategies that fit your niche

  2. Add them to your blog this week

  3. Start testing what works (then scale!)

  Gabriel Jesus netted a brace as Arsenal defeated Crystal Palace 5-1 in Saturday’s Premier League game. The Brazilian international had netted a hat-trick against same team to help the Gunners to advance to the Carabao Cup semi-finals on Wednesday. The Gunners got off to a quick start, as Jesus continued his fine form from Wednesday to give Arsenal the lead in the sixth minute with a powerful strike. Ismaila Sarr had the Eagles on level terms in the 11th minute, though, after beating David Raya with a perfectly placed effort from range. Jesus regained the Gunners’ lead in the 25th minute, with another powerful strike after a corner eventually fell for the Brazilian inside the box before Kai Havertz added a third for Arsenal. The Gunners took the game beyond Palce’s reach as Gabriel Martinelli added a fourth after a flurry of Arsenal chances in the 60th minute, after poking in Declan Rice’s initial effort.

GOOGLE REJECTS BID TO SELL CHROME BROWSER, PROPOSES LICENSING RESTRICTION.

Google late Friday countered a US call to sell its Chrome browser, suggesting a judge address antitrust concerns by barring the firm from making favourable treatment of its software a condition of licensing. Google filed a 12-page proposed order banning the internet giant from requiring favourable distribution or treatment of its software on mobile devices as a condition of licensing popular apps like Chrome, Play or Gemini. In contrast, the US government in November asked a judge to order the dismantling of Google by selling its widely used Chrome browser in a major antitrust crackdown on the company. The US Department of Justice urged a shake-up of Google’s business that includes banning deals for Google to be the default search engine on smartphones and preventing it from exploiting its Android mobile operating system. THE ROUNDTABLE: Tax Reform-Senate Suspends Debate 0:00 / 0:00 Determining how to address Google’s wrongs is the next stage of the landmark antitrust trial that saw th...
